Solgar GABA 500 mg, 100 Vegetable Capsules - Relaxation & Nervous System Support - Amino Acid - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Kosher - 100 Servings

I started taking SOLGAR GABA for PMDD and mood swings. I also get mood swings with sundown in the winter months and in the evening when my ADHD meds wear off. I don't do well on hormones but my dr prescribed the mini pill to help with mood swings and anxiety during PMS and it significantly improved my mood. When I asked why she said it works on the GABA receptors. After taking it a while I started to notice it wasn't AS effective as it was In the beginning, but I refuse to go on a higher dose of hormones. That's what brought me here looking for a way to supplement the GABA effects.With all of the health products and vitamin manufactures on the market and on Amazon it's hard to know which one to pick. It ultimately comes down to advertising and reviews which can both be misleading.I will say that I have been using SOLGAR products for years and my vitamin D lab tests have confirmed the quality, absorption, and effectiveness. Obviously GABA isn't really something that you can confirm with a lab test but I can definitely say that this product works. It's by no means a miracle and the effects are subtle but noticable. There is no miracle vitamin, but this one comes close. It doesn't knock me out so I can take it during the day when I have PMS or in the evening when I don't and just have sundown. I recommend giving it a shot if your symptoms or situations are similar to mine.

I have been on a journey to find supplements to help with my severe insomnia and anxiety. I have also been looking for something that I could use as I dose back on Xanax. The insomnia started about 3 years ago and then anxiety followed along with nightly panic attacks. I saw several doctors and was put on so many meds I cannot list them all. Most of the meds only made my symptoms worse or I was in a drugged, foggy state during the day. What finally worked was an anti depressant during the day along with 2 mg Xanax and another 2 mg of Xanax for night. I am now physically dependent on Xanax for anxiety and sleep. Along the way, I have tried Valerian Root, Ashwagandaha, L-Theanine, melatonin, B-vitamins, CBD, magnesium, 5-HTP, etc. None of them worked for me. Then I found Solgar GABA. I was skeptical of course because of my experience with the others but thought why not give it a go. It has been a slow process but I now take .5 mg Xanax during the day, no anti depressant and 1 mg Xanax at night. I take a GABA capsule, twice daily, and 2 capsules at night with a magnesium supplement. GABA has helped me be able to dose back off of Xanax and to manage my anxiety. I feel calm during the day without all the Xanax. At night, I no longer get on the gerbil wheel and wonder if I am going to be able to go to sleep. When I crawl into bed, I'm calm and relaxed. This product has given me hope that I will finally be able to get completely off of Xanax but it also gives me something that I can use to manage my insomnia/anxiety that is non habit forming and not addictive.

Health benefits.

Good Product, very useful

It does what it needs to do. Help me sleep. I don't take all the time bc I'm scared to get dependent on things that maybe there isn't enough research on long term. I only looked into this a little bit. But I am comfortable taking here and there just not daily. Bc I'm careful with my health lol. I like it so far and it's helped me sleep. :)

I learned a long time ago that not all vitamins are the same. You must look at how they are produced and manufactured and where and how.. So is a high-quality one of a kind vitamin company. You cannot get a better quality product anywhere, especially for the mone. It is packaged in darker glass so that the supplement or vitamin last longer and keeps it safe from heat. It is a little more expensive than other vitamins. It’s because it is a real vitamin and it works, and you get what you pay for.. I would not buy my vitamins or supplements or minerals from any other company and neither should you.

I used a whole bottle, loved it, did not find it again, purchased another brand, noticed little effect, came back to Solgar and ordered enough to last me a year.It helps me sleep better (I was waking up 7-8x per night) and feel calmer during the day. Now I recommend this particular brand to everyone!

I don’t know if these work but with this brand I am willing to try! I believe that what is in the bottle is what’s printed on the label and I can’t say the same for most vitamin suppliers.
